After Penn Entertainment announced returning 2003-founded Barstool Sports to its founder Portnoy, 100 percent of power returned to him. Rejoined by the flow of events the former and current president of the company took it to Twitter and wrote “I Bought Back Barstool Sports.” He also updated the internet about gifting himself a horse amid racehorse tragedies at Saratoga.

At Saratoga Race Course this season, 6-year-old gelding Burning Bright became the 12th horse to pass away on August 23.

He got emotional and expressed how the news hit home for him since he grew up watching races at the racetrack. For the Taylor Swift die-hard fan, cruel summer seems to be becoming a reality. Additionally, the news came in just days after he purchased his thoroughbred racehorse whom he named WonderGirl Carly. According to Portnoy, the name is a homage to both her dam Wonderment and a popular 1991 video featuring a girl named Carly playing flag football.

The horse has a promising racing pedigree, sired by Gun Runner, the Horse of the Year in 2017 who won the Whitney at Saratoga and has earned about $16 million in his racing career. Interestingly, it was the first purchase made by Portnoy from Barstool on the Saratoga horse auctioneers site on August 8.
